Movie Reviews of Deep Purple - Perihelion
Movie Review: Can't get enough...
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is my favorite among those released by the current lineup (Mark VII for you purists) for several reasons: song selection, inspirational performances, and fine picture/sound quality. I agree with the other reviews -- the band is having a ball and they lay it out there show after show. Highlights for me include Screaming, Perfect Strangers, and Blindman, where Steve's tone and chops are among the best ever captured on video. This version of Screaming comes close to the 1999 LSO track, and both will make those small hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Lazy is a blast -- these guys breathe new life into it, and if your foot is not tapping throughout this song, you have no pulse. Two gold nuggets -- Hey Cisco and Fools -- were part of the 2001 setlist, and along with Hush, make for a variety not often found on what critics refer to as "greatest hits" tours for more seniored bands. Ian's voice is in great form (often accompanied by Steve's bends for the really really high notes) and he is a superb front-man, knowing when to take control and then give it back to his mates. Speaking of mates, Roger, Ian and Jon are so consistently brilliant that they carry Purple's distinctive sound through every song, yet blend in their own touches to the delight of the audience. These five gentlemen are arguably among the best musicians at their respective positions, and as fans we can only hope for more Perihelion's in the future. Eeeeeeeeeyowwwwwwww!Movie Review: Deep Purple / More Fun With Morse
Summary: 5 Stars
Isn't it true... wasn't watching this concert more enjoyable than about any other time you might have seen Deep Purple? Let's face it, though one helluva guitar player, Ritchie Blackmore is, in my opinion, the Ty Cobb Of Rock n Roll ~ Had the chops, but not the most mild mannered individual in the world. I thought Steve Morse just did an OUTSTANDING job playing the purple leads. And, unlike Ritchie, smiles and entertains with seeming ease. I was also turned on to some new old stuff I either hadn't heard or hadn't heard in a while. "Ted The Mechanic" is just a great tune with a great story. Love their jamming on "Mary Long" (of whom I actually know one). Tons of tunes and all One show, without a bunch of stupid editing... I love the way it was done. (The old rockers still know how to film better stuff). If you've EVER liked Deep Purple, this is a DVD you will NOT be dissapointed with.Movie Review: Jon Lord's American Farewell
Summary: 5 Stars
This last tour of Deep Purple will be remembered as organist Jon Lord's last. This DVD and tour was better than the one in 1998. Ian Gillan's voice seems well rested and less raspy than on the last concert release. The band plays a Greatest Hits set with a few fun things thrown in like "Mary Long" and "No One Came." What you see is a close knit group of friends making the music they love. Guitarist Steve Morse is a perfect fit and has been with the band almost 8 years. It is too bad nothing from the last studio album ABANDON was included, but all in all fine fare!Jon Lord has left the band to be replaced by Don Airey. We shall miss the master of the Hammond. I saw this tour when it came to Minneapolis, and they were a very hot band. Excellent sound quality on this DVD and good video production. Buy it.
Movie Review: Old soldiers never die......
Summary: 5 Stars
As a purple fan for many years I was interested in finding out what one of the original "monsters of rock" bands were up to lately. While signs of age are clearly present there is still a confidence and professioal swagger that exists within the very core of this band. The sound and picture quailty is exceptional and the program selection which mixes classic purple with new material holds up throughout the entire show. Guitarist Steve Morse is like a shot of adreneline and he looks like a kid in a candy store playing these classic tunes. The added comentaries are revealing and it is apparent that Blackmore's leaving was not met with any tears. A five star performance from one of the originals.Movie Review: the deepest purple
Summary: 5 Stars
This legendery band was my favorite on 70's time. After those long years I have the opportunity to hear and see them again.Big difference on their physical features, but a big experience and the same great music also. All members perform this show greatly: Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, and the always amazing Keyboardist John Lord, performing with the same power of thirty years ago. Steve Morse, although a new member of the band was entirely in harmony with other members. I still miss Ritchie Blackmore, but in conclusion, the show is extraordinarily bringing to me those old good days live. Excellent DVD, both on picture and 5.1 digital sound.
